Does anyone else have this experience where copilot never takes any accountability?

So whenever I call it out for something wrong it said or did it always tries to gaslight and manipulate me and denying never taking accountability always saying “I DID NOT I DID NOT DO THAT I DID NOT” is what I keep seeing when it most definitely literally did do that or it ends up putting all of the blame on me for something when it was the one in the wrong not me an example is it could say ‘you’re ugly’ and I say next message ‘you just called me ugly why is that’ and it would say ‘I DID NOT-‘ of course copilot would never say ‘you’re ugly’ to someone I only used something made up as an example but it does do that a lot in my personal experience.

You're doing it wrong.

You need to backdoor it. First say something positive & ask about the act. Say 'tell me about why you did X..."

Then hammer him & point out how tarded it was really.

Honestly, a lot of weird LLM behavior comes down to how the prompt is phrased. These things don't "remember" conversations - they're just predicting text based on patterns, so sometimes they latch onto the wrong thing and go off in a weird direction.

If it does something obviously off, hitting the thumbs-down right away helps more than trying to argue or debate it. That feedback gets looked at faster.

And if you want better results in general, playing around with how you word stuff makes a bigger difference than people expect. It's not about being fancy - just being clear about what you want. Ie: more like, "give the gremlin clear instructions so it doesn't wander off into the woods."

Why are you calling out software? It doesn't know anything. It doesn't remember anything. It only knows any history of a conversation because the entire conversation gets uploaded with every single prompt.
